Green Line Route 724, which generally uses Single Decker buses in the

I assume that 'local' means those that are currently valid on some
local bus pass and that all that is intended to happen from the end of

Not Route 80 (no idea if this still runs)
Not National Express Coach services
Not special services

Otherwise any route that passes though Surrey, so includes the 465 &
R68.

And more recently the new First 300 Windsor to Virginia Water Station
